2024 marked a significant step forward in strengthening and expanding our commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. It also saw the publication of our fourth Sustainability Report, offering a transparent overview of our initiatives and progress. Compared to the 2023 Report, some areas remained stable, while we made substantial improvements in others — including reaching 99% renewable energy use and completing our calculation of the Group Carbon Footprint, which has since provided valuable insight into where we must further concentrate our efforts. Below are just a few examples of the work we’ve done in this vital area. We are proud to share the ongoing evolution of our sustainability journey in this year’s full report and summary.
The path undertaken
"If you look after the planet, the planet will look after you"
“The need for sustainable transformation has never been more urgent, particularly as we approach the 2030 deadline for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Over the past year, the STIGA Group has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, driving meaningful change in a rapidly evolving landscape. We remain firmly committed to improving the impact our products and operations have on the planet, making tangible progress across key sustainability metrics. As a leading player in the gardening sector, we take our responsibility seriously, continuously innovating to reduce emissions, enhance energy efficiency and improve product circularity.
Despite the challenges posed by global economic uncertainties and climate change, STIGA remains unwavering in its commitment to sustainability. By integrating sustainable practices into our core business strategy, we are securing our long-term success while making a meaningful contribution to society and the environment. We take pride in the progress we have made and remain ambitious in our future aspirations.
